Description: Medical problems of the male genitals are extremely common and male health is assuming a new importance as men are increasingly recognising the need to look after their bodies. The rates of sexually transmitted infections are rising rapidly in many countries, including a dramatic increase in HIV infection and the recent resurgence of syphilis. Patients with genital disease often present to their general practitioner, sexual health clinics, dermatology departments and urology clinics, and this quick reference guide aids easy diagnosis. Fully illustrated, with colour photographs, this is designed for anyone dealing with men with genital rashes, skin lesions and sexually transmitted diseases. It covers, in detail, the broad area of male genital disease encompassing dermatology and genito-urinary medicine.
